The current DMG „installer“ is sudo-free and install to any place the user desires to put it in. All that is needed is to modify the path to include the /bin directory of ooRexx. That said it would indeed be desirable to create packages for Homebrew, MacPorts and any other packet handling system, It would be great if you have connections and can reach out to them and ask what they need. The installation package for ooRexx is universally relocatable and would be easy to put in at least a „bottle“ for Homebrew. The current DMG is nothing more than a zipped copy of the files built and could be mounted and dragged along to any place on the machine. > > Upgrades from one MacOS level to the next do require some work, but work > that I would be doing anyway for all the other tools that I use, for example > to build ooRexx from source. This upgrade problems are not to be ignored. On Catalina Homebrew was in /usr/local per default whereas in Big Sur is appears to be in /opt? When upgrading a Catalina machine to Big Sur I found myself with a non-standard setup. Apple are notorious in moving things around. The move from /usr to /usr/local for user defined installations some versions ago is what broke the (still only) Official ooRexx 4.1.2 installer for instance. > > Rather than a .DMG file that you can download and run the mac installer, I’d > rather have something that the MacPorts package manager can download and > install. > I don’t see why we can´t have both? > Anyway that’s my 2¢ > > Bruce > >> On Oct 28, 2021, at 7:25 AM, Rony G.
